Memory upgrade dell t610

[coolmen815]

Hello all,

I'd like to upgrade my memory on my Dell poweredge t610. Now i have 6x 4GB memory modules in it. My question is can i remove 2 of those and replace them by 2x 8gb sticks?

The memory type is PC3L-10600R 1333MHz 240-Pin ECC REG. The 8gb is 2rx4 and my 4gb is the same (not sure about this).

What will i lose if i choose this setup? Speed for example

I have personally ran different sizes in my PC before as a combination. I've read that peak performance comes when a single type is used rather than mix and match. To answer your question, yes it will work.

Okay thank you!

Install in matching pairs for optimal performance.

Mixing and matching may or may not run.

What do you mean with matching pairs? Replace them all with 8gb?

Correct, all sticks 1 capacity, 1 speed, 1 brand, 1 latency. All identical.

Well they are all the same except the capacity. I could always give it a try
